APV: Double Wall Design (Duo Safety)
Duo-Safety Plates
Duo-safety plates are specially designed to protect product from medium as a consequence of through-plate leaks from cracks or corrosion. They have a pair of special non-welded plates back to back, with the leak path between them open to atmosphere. These paired plates then have product and service medium flow on either side.
Product range
The APV Duo-Safety plate consists of two loose heat exchanger plates. These can be made of different material. Each plate pair is fitted with a non-glued Paraclip gasket, which both seals and holds the pair together. Gaskets can be supplied in the full range of materials. The APV Duo-Safety heat exchanger plate pairs can be supplied in stainless steel, titanium, etc. or in two different materials. Gaskets are now available in NBR or EPDM material.
Features/benefits
- 100% visual inspection is possible
- The APV Duo-Safety plate pair can be dismantled for cleaning between the two plate faces
- Possibility to combine different plate materials in one plate pair, such as stainless steel/titanium or hastelloy/titanium

APV: District heating systems
APV: Direct steam system
Direct steam heating can be applied in two ways:
* Steam infusion
* Steam injection

APV: Plate Evaporators
During the plate evaporation process, liquid is pumped between thin plates with the heating medium on the mating surfaces. The product is then evaporated with the vapor generated forming a high velocity core. This expansion in volume causes a high-velocity, thin film on the heat exchange surface providing efficient heat transfer.
Plate evaporators should be considered for applications that have:
- Capacities up to 27,000 kg/h water removal
- A need for future expansion
- Limited head space
- A particle size smaller than 600 Micron.
Features/Benefits:
- Improved product quality. The short heat contact period resulting from single pass operation and low liquid holdup eliminates product deterioration even when highly heat sensitive liquids are involved. The resulting concentrate is of the highest quality possible.
- Higher product concentration. The variety of plate evaporators available from APV allows custom concentrates to be produced. Ninety seven percent total solids or better are possible depending on feed material characteristics.
- Low liquid holdup. Very little product is actually in the plate evaporator at any time. This permits rapid start-up and shutdown with minimal waste. Small quantities of product may be processed economically.
- Easily cleaned. All stainless steel surfaces within the plate packs are fully accessible for easy cleaning. Normal CIP is done with low consumption of cleaning chemicals due to the low liquid holdup.
- Flexible capacity. By simply adding or removing plate units, varying evaporation rates may be achieved. Large expansions are possible with additional frames and plate units.
- Low installation costs. Due to the compact size and low weight, no cranes or special foundations are required for installation. Typically, an existing building on site is suitable and installation time is minimal.

APV: All-Welded Plates (Hybrid)
The APV Hybrid plate heat exchanger design has no dead spots and provides very efficient heat transfer at low pressure drop values to ensure that it functions at a very accurate temperature. The plate side flow and the tube side flow are arranged in cross flow configuration in one or multiple passes over the plates. The plate pattern forms elliptical tube channels on the tube flow side and wave flow passage on the plate side. The depth of the plate pressure can be increased in order to allow greater flow rates or reduced pressure drop for the passage of larger particles. This functionality provides an optimal design for many process requirements and is achieved by enlarging the diameters of the elliptical tube channels, while maintaining the plate distance on the plate flow side. It is also possible to achieve a wide-gap condition on the plate flow side by welding the plates further apart. The APV Hybrid plate heat exchanger can be designed for a pressure range from full vacuum to 60 bar.
Like all our products, the APV Hybrid plate heat exchanger conforms with the quality assurance norm ISO 9000.
